Spring Party March 20Spring Party March 20Spring Party March 20Spring Party March 20

Since the Women of Wiltondale had to cancel our Valentine's Day party we thought we would reschedule the event to celebrate the end of winter and welcome spring. After the winter we have had, we think there is cause for celebration! Please bring an appetizer, dessert, or wine to share. Don't forget to bring your spouse, too! The party will be held Satur-day, March 20, at 7 p.m. at Alicia and Mike Rowan's house: 615 Sussex Rd. This event is open to all neighborhood adults, and it also replaces this month’s Tuesday evening WOW meeting. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Alicia Rowan at (410) 828-4788 or aliciarowan@msn.com or Lauren LaCanfora at (410) 296-2641 or llacan-fora@gmail.com.

Snow Shoveling Snow Shoveling Snow Shoveling Snow Shoveling Please make sure your side-walks are cleared so that they may serve their purpose of keeping walkers out of the way of traffic. If you are unable to clear your walk or your stairs, please look in the Wiltondale classifieds for assis-tance with snow removal. Baltimore County requires that all snow be removed from side-walks and stairs to houses and buildings within 24 hours of snow-fall. The snow may not be dis-carded onto any paved area (ie the road), but may be tossed onto your yard. Keeping gutters cleared of snow, ice, and debris is the prop-erty-owner’s responsibility.

Appreciation for neighbors’ volunteer shoveling after February’s record snowfall was evident. It was great to see neighbors working together to help each other move snow from walkways, driveways, steps and vehicles. Here is one note of gratitude: I wish to pass this message of VERY SINCERE THANKS to those folks residing on Sussex - and possibly other residences in Wiltondale - for taking their time ... to help me clear snow from my residential park- ing area and sidewalk. Words cannot express my gratitude. I am sure they probably had to be concerned [about] dealing with snow on their properties… Again, many, many thanks. — Ken McCabe, 608 Stevenson Lane

Wiltondale will not soon forget the impact - positive and nega-tive - that this enormous storm had on our neighborhood, especially as we continue to clean up after it. We live in a great community!

This winter will long be remembered for the record snowfall and the damage it caused. Gutters and plants received the worst of it from what I’ve seen in my yard and driving through the neighborhood. No doubt there were some sore backs as well. Those of us who commute to work, especially to downtown Baltimore, encountered some frustrating drives, and parents faced their own challenges with children out of school. Fortunately each passing day brings warmer weather a little closer and makes the snow piles a little smaller. The Orioles are in camp, so spring can’t be far behind (although I’ve been to open-ing day when it snowed). We can look forward to neighborhood events that come with warmer weather: the Easter Egg Hunt, the Run for Greenwood Park, the Triangle Party, and the opening of the pool. Each of these events adds to the quality of life in Wiltondale and makes this neighborhood special. The next meeting of the board of directors will be held Tuesday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m. at Ascension Lutheran Church. Fred Ross

Being snowed-in wasn’t entirely prob-lematic: it allowed us to get out and socialize with our neighbors; it pro-vided opportunity to build forts and tun-nels, sledding ramps and snow castles; and the road re-mained unplowed long enough for resi-dents to participate in cross-country ski-ing up and down Yarmouth Road.
